Papa and Mama Root deliver a unique blend of the popular musical styles, and unforgettable songs and artists, of rock 'n roll's Golden Era of music ...the 15 defining years from 1958 through 1973... the years and hits that make up over 80% of Rolling Stone Magazine's Greatest 500 songs of all time list. In addition, Papa and Mama add an insider look into the seldom heard history of the songs they perform.

Papa and Mama also perform their own Americana original songs...musical vignettes that feature a striking sonic and lyrical resemblance to the hits you have loved all of your life.

Papa and Mama take the stage with a simple, no frills approach...an acoustic/electric guitar, harmonica and two voices blending in harmony. Their approach is true small club/coffee house 1960's style!

There are no pre-recorded instruments or backing tracks of any kind. They adapt, simplify, and interpret the great songs, and deliver them in an old school '60's style music performance experience. Their performances are real and in the moment.

Papa and Mama Root are unique. They take you on a musical journey back to the those fifteen fabulous years in America's music past.

Papa and Mama Root...simple, no frills, live music for your listening enjoyment.
